I think, it works if you would create a Qt-Quick UI.

Go to "File" and then "New" and there should be an option called "Qt Quick UI" or something like that.
If you create it, the design tab shouldn't be deactivated anymore

Which Version if QTCreator? QT? do you use?
QML2 is not supported with QTCreator < 2.7.0beta

Please: It is spelled "Qt", not "QT". QT is Quicktime :)

It doesn't matter, which QtCreator version he uses if he uses the ubuntu repo for getting it. I think, It is 4.8.X, where he can also use QML1.

I have Qt Creator 2.4.1 and have the possibility to use QtQuick also.

its version 2.4.1 i think .
yes it works in QtQuick UI . but i think it should be work in QtQuick Application . is it true?

What version of Ubuntu are you running ? The latest version they seem to have of QtCreator is 2.5.2

hor_313

ubuntu 12.04 .
it have 2.4.1 that i have installed and so 2.5.0(precise-backports) that i can change it .what is the difference between these and which one is better to use?

It is not necessary to use a higher version (only if you want to use Qt5).
To your question about QtQuick und Design: It shall work every time, when you have opened a QML file in your editor. Qt Creator cannot edit cpp files in the designer ;)

Here a list of changes for every version: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator/qt-creator/trees/2.5/dist
Every version brings new features and bugfixes. The question is only, if you need this really.

If you want to use QtQuick2, I recommended to install Qt5 and the latest version of QtCreator, which both are not in the repository of Ubuntu yet.
